Baker County Library
announces changes
BAKER CITY — The Baker
County Library District is plan-
ning to return to nearly normal
operations on Tuesday, June 1, in
response to the recent announce-
ments by federal and state offi cials
regarding the easing of mask and
social distancing guidelines for
people who are fully vaccinated.
“We do need to stay patient a bit
longer while waiting for additional
OHA and OSHA policy clarifi ca-
tions and for several staff to reach
their fully-vaccinated anniversary,”
said Perry Stokes, library district
director. “So for now, masks are still
required in the library, even for in-
dividuals who are fully vaccinated
or otherwise have antibodies.”
